	Inflate your Upload Space

If you like that idea, then I have one that sort of goes along with it.

Once the Drone Republic and the Hive start tangling over Franco's flotilla (as I presume is gonna happen), the Drone commanders can receive the location of the fake home world and try and launch a decapitation strike.

Since, however, it's not the real home world, the Hive space fleet is able to ambush the decapitation strike and destroy it.

Basically what I'm thinking of is to have the Drone military underestimate the Hive and get a bloody nose.

Looks like I got another post.

Franky - I put in some detail about the Drone Republic forces' order of battle for your reference. A "frigate", for me, is a fast medium-sized ship with a mix of offensive and defensive weapons. A "destroyer" is larger and slower, mostly designed to suppress enemy vessels with heavy weapons. A "cruiser" is smaller than a frigate and is a multi-purpose ship, more lightly-armed but incorporating electronic and information warfare weapons (eg. communications jamming, navigational obfuscation measures).

Heh, I always thought ship sizes were like this...

Frigate --> destroyer --> cruiser

based off Civ3 and MOO3.

But hey, its your civ. Just wondering, thats all.

Right on Crimson Thanks for the info.

My next post will have the ships come in, but they'll stay on the Hive border. I'll post it where you can detect them, and I'll have them send a message but won't do anything until we discuss how we should proceed.

My three ships are all corvettes. Staple ships in the Hive fleet. Nothing really special about them. My site describes them in a vague way but it should be good enough to help get things rolling on your end.

Franky, just wondering.

Did you read my tranmission to Yang in my latest post?

In your upcoming post, please could you at least acknowledge and reply to my tranmission, so we can start to get things moving with our plans?

In case you forgot, my code name message with "Lavender King" is for arrangements to be made for a secret meeting like we planned a while ago, to kick off an alliance.

I might work up a couple more posts within the coming month, going in detail about the Phalanx Project, and the UA's first rapid colonization / build-up.

Sovereign-Yes. Good post. What I plan on doing is having a split post, one dealing with the Drone fleet. The second half will switch to Yang receiving the message and deciding on the course of actions. I'll make it so he doesn't know what's been going on between the UA and the Protectorate, but I'll make it known that he wants to go ahead with the alliance.

If I can, I want to renew hostilities between the Protectorate and the Hive, so it'll be a two-front battle....if I can keep up with it.

Lonestar-Thanks man. Sorry again. Apologises if I seemed outta whack.

Heh.

I was planning on having the Goa'uld have one last hurray before passing into extinction.

The Goa'uld, Asgard, Tokra, etc. were nearly wiped out by the Replicators before SG-1 was able to shut the Replicators down for good.

(This is fictional, and explains why no Goa'uld or Asgard or other Stargate factions interfered with Humanity for 700 years)

Then we could have P'tah try to defend himself aganist the UA assault. The Goa'uld will become extinct due to the UA's massive industrial base, much like Japan and the USA in world war 2.

The Goa'uld simply doesn't have the mass production and reproduction (organic) capabilities of the Humans. Hence they rely on Jaffa to forge their empires.

Soveriegn; Nope, I'm just trying to clean up the mess you started with mentioning "Stargate". The Go'aul are going to be a very minor player after Summit, and will probably never be seen again after that.

It's your fault! If you're going to incorporate other sci-fi, at least be obscure about it!

Heh.

I can't help it. When you consider its the 28th century, with Earth, Alpha Centauri, etc. you can't help but wonder where the Goa'uld and the Stargate stuff fits in.

Parallel Universe, I know. However, I started this plot because a few people mentioned or posted about stargates earlier on, before I even concieved the Goa'uld and annexing Earth.

So I figured, why not tie that in to the stargates found on Earth waaaay back in the 20 / 21st centuries? Makes sense, doesn't it?

So far I've eliminated the Asgard, Tollan, Tox, Tokra, and miscellanous non-human Stargate civ's in my post. Once the Goa'uld are gone, we don't have to worry about further Stargate references, other than the Stargates themselves.

Thus, it can and will open up possibilities for us to work with the Stargates, without worrying about the backstory or Stargate civ's becoming involved.


On another note.... expect a nice, wholesome surprise for you guys to read tomorrow morning!

And another one, this one within half an hour of the last one... that's got to be some kind of record, for me.

btw, just how big is a 'typical' BAC capital ship? My idea here was to have the object found be significantly larger than that, but with a large proportion of it's mass taken up with onboard factories, transport areas, and so on.

Tactius,

The size of capital ships vary.

Aliens tend to have 10+ kilometer ships, like the Bree and Progenitors.

For the humans, it can vary.

Some factions prefer to build smaller ships for strength in numbers. These kinds of ships would be anywhere between 500 meters to 1.5 kilometers.

Other factions like the Protectorate, University, and Terrans would build medium to big ships.

These ships would be anywhere from 1.5 kilometers to 6 kilometers. The University has only a few 9 kilometer ships, a brand new class of starship, the Titan. The Titan would be a class above Superdreadnought and Battle Carrier, like in MOO3. The University developed the Titan class with all the newest technologies and the new quantum power reactors.

So it breaks down to this...

Alien ship size = 10+ kilometers

Small human ships = 500 meters - 1.5 kilometers

Medium / Big human ships = 1.5 - 6 kilometers

Gigantic human ships = 9 kilometers (Titans only).

Hope this helps.
